Barcode / ETS ID field

The Barcode field, also known as the External Tracking System (ETS) ID field, displays a barcode number for an object.

How this field works

The Barcode / ETS ID field is only available if you have configured it in the system. For more information, see Set up a manual barcode configuration.

You can enter a barcode number for each defined part of an object in the Parts table, or you can enter a barcode number for the whole object. If one part of an object has a barcode number then the rest of the parts need to have a barcode number. You can assign the same barcode number to more than one part.

If you enter data in the Barcode Whole Object field, the Parts Barcode field will disable. If you enter data in the Parts Barcode field, the Barcode Whole Object field will disable.

You can also assign a barcode number to each location in the Location file.
